I loved today’s podcast! I don’t currently use a formal planner, we started out planning to use time4learning so there wasn’t much planning needed, but my 12-year-old son got fairly bored with only using that, so I dug out materials from the Critical Thinking Press when I homeschooled my older son through middle school. That’s livened things up! 🙂

I plan right now by taking the number of lessons and dividing them loosely by the number of weeks I want to finish….it is very loose and works right now…but as my younger two get older, I think Im going to have to become more organized..lol

I’m currently use post-it notes on a poster board grid to plan our lessons. That way we pick and choose which subjects we do each day and I can see where we need to catch up at a glance. Since my iPad seems to be attached to my hip Homeschool Helper would probably work better, and it would save many more trees!

This has been fluctuating for me for a long time. Right now I just use a binder and regular paper. I write out lesson plans for units in a checklist format, then copy the activities for a certain day to a seperate paper as each day comes up.

I’ve been using myHomework for the past year. I like that I can enter all the information on my computer & it syncs to my son’s iPad. Actually, that’s the biggest PRO for me as I need my big screen & keyboard, using the little iPad is frustrating (for me). The major CON is that is that lessons aren’t kept in history, so if I want to look at something we did 4 months ago, I can’t. I’ve been looking at other options, but not having that web based interface/sync option puts me off. However, that said, I may need to just suck it up and learn to type on the Mini as I want & need to be able to see past lessons.

Oh & my 5 year old daughter got a Ukulele last Christmas and no-one knows how to play it. I will have to pick up that book now :-). Thanks for the Podcast!

What, there’s a giveaway?! OMG I’ve been so behind. A migraine that’s lasted two days, senior portraits for one child, keeping up with the eldest who’s moved out, and the three little ones doing some big projects here. Life has been so busy for me lately! Thus far I’ve only used a simple Excel spreadsheet, but I think I’d like something more detailed. It’s fun that you mentioned the ukelele. I bought one for my husband who wanted to learn (complete with book and tuner) and he immediately decided that a guitar was sexier, lol! So, I’ll be Ebaying soon…

I’m not using a planner right now – we have a clingy 2 year old, so I’m just flying by the seat of my pants as the opportunity presents itself. But I’ve done more planning in the past, and will return to it in the future as she ventures further from me! Thanks for your reviews – I’m going to check them out so I’m ready!
